Comments<br />
Paucity of records from Waveney, Thet & Wensum valley. Data<br />
transfer from NWT this year. Norfolk Action Plan published<br />
December 1998, revised February 2002.<br />
European Protected Species.<br />
Probably an almost complete record of the species in the<br />
county.<br />
New site found in 2006.<br />

New to national list of BAP priority species 2007<br />
Lack of records West Norfolk due to observer bias. Weighted by<br />
estates in North Norfolk. Northern Distributor Road evaluation<br />
showed very few in arable lands round Norwich. Norfolk Action<br />
Plan published December 1998, revised January 2006.<br />
European Protected Species<br />
The serious declines of the 1950s-1970s have been arrested<br />
with protection and improved water quality. Numbers slowly<br />
recovering. Lack of records Norfolk/Suffolk border and Tas<br />
Valley. Data transfer from NWT this year. Norfolk Action Plan<br />
published December 1998, revised February 2002.<br />
P 693 284 Small number of records annually indicate that with concerted<br />
attention this species may be widespread but under-recorded<br />

P? 6 1 Six old records, with a possible sighting in 2006. Small captive<br />
breeding program in the county, supporting the suggestion of<br />
reintroduction in the future.<br />
P? 2 1 Currently recolonising parts of lowland Britain from which it<br />
was trapped to extinction at the end of the 19thC.<br />
New to national list of BAP priority species 2007<br />
Has declined in Britain owing to modern intensive agricultural<br />
practices with loss of suitable feeding habitat (permanent<br />
pasture and woodland edge/hedgerows rich in invertebrate<br />
fauna. Loss of suitable trees for roosting is also a major factor.<br />
